Expert Solution
Step 1

1) This statement is true. Fusion do occurs in our stars like sun.

2) This statement is false. Nuclear fusion is not the common reaction in today's nuclear power plants. The common reaction used in nuclear power plants is nuclear fission.

3) This statement is true. Smaller nuclei do combine or fuse to form a larger nuclei.

4) This statement is true. The two atoms of hydrogen do combine to form one atom of helium.

5) This statement is false. The splitting of atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei with release of energy is known as nuclear fission, not nuclear fusion.

6) This statement is false. It uses hydrogen as fuel whereas nuclear fission uses uranium as a fuel.

7) This statement is true. Nuclear fusion do includes the joining of two hydrogen atom to form a Helium atom and releasing energy.
